Riyadh Economic Forum's 12th Session Set for Oct 2026

The Riyadh Economic Forum will hold its 12th session from 12 to 14 October 2026 at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center in Riyadh, bringing together discussions on some of the Kingdom's most pressing economic priorities.

the sessions will focus on investment opportunities, regulatory reform, developing local talent and knowledge transfer, traffic congestion, and smart agriculture. The forum will also look ahead to two landmark events the Kingdom is preparing to host: Expo 2030 and the 2034 FIFA World Cup.

The combination of topics reflects the capital's broader transformation, as Riyadh positions itself as a regional hub for business, innovation and large-scale international events. Conversations around regulation and talent development point to the ongoing effort to make the local market more attractive to investors while building skills within the community.

For residents and businesses in Riyadh, the discussions touch on everyday concerns as well — from easing traffic congestion to exploring modern approaches to agriculture that could support food security and sustainability in the years ahead.

Further details on registration and participation for the 2026 session were not available at the time of publication. Saudi Living will share updates as more information becomes available.
